"Web Traffic Techniques You Can Use Right Now for 2006!"
By Jason Mangrum, Author The Instant Traffic Formula 2006
InstantTrafficFormula
As
you probably know, getting web traffic to your site is one of
the three most crucial components to making any money online. In
Mark Joyner's Internet Intelligence Manuscript (Volume II) he
clearly explains how any web traffic (not just "targeted
traffic") can be made profitable, by mentally framing, or
conditioning your visitors to become receptible to your offer...
One
of the easiest ways to mentally re-frame your visitors upon
entry to your site, is to walk them through a three-step process
that:
A)
Grabs their immediate attention with a promise of benefit
B) Pre-Qualifies them before they get to your sales letter
C) Follows up with them over time with new content and reminders
of your offer
Keep
in mind, web traffic is just one component of the three required
to sustain sales.
The
other two are:
1.
Testing new advertising campaigns and ad copy
2. Tracking and keeping records of your results from each
campaign
Here's an example case study of the three-step process...
On
December 16th 2005, my book "The Instant Traffic Formula 2006"
was released to teach internet entreprenuers how to create,
attract and monetize responsive web traffic to any web site or
affiliate program. As of today, my web site (which uses the
exact techniques taught in the book) is averaging a 64.86%
visitor-to-lead conversion, and an average sales conversion
ranging from 4.69% up to 11.36%, which is currently netting me
just over $1.48 per unique visitor to my site.
Again, these statistics do not take follow-ups into account.
These are "straight-out-of-the-gate" type sales that occur
within minutes of my visitors signing up to read my sales
letter.
And
you can do this too.
Online
Classifieds work!
I
follow a simple formula to create web traffic, qualified leads,
responsive subscribers, loyal customers and even active
affiliates who promote anything and everything I sell online.
You
can sum up the entire formula into the three major components I
mentioned above, and create a fail-proof success system for your
products, services and affiliate programs. After you've
activated the formula, the best way to keep the momentum of
traffic, leads and sales coming in on a consistent and even
predictable basis, is in three words...
What
those three words are, and how to use them by combining eight
other powerful elements is carefully documented inside my book.
But here's the process I used personally on my site:
1.
My visitor is directed through a tracking link (or affiliate
link) to a lead capture page called a "Name Squeeze" where
prospects give their contact information in order to get details
of my report.
2.
Upon submitting their contact information, they are immediately
directed to my sales page for the details, and offer for the
Instant Traffic Formula Scientific Marketing Report.
3.
My follow-up autoresponder system immediately sends them an
email reminding them of my offer, giving a few testimonials of
the report and sends them a link to check it out at another
time. A few days later, they receive reminders of my offer, more
quality feedback of my report, new articles and content about
getting web traffic, and again - links back to my sales letter.
The
lead capture page serves to "pre-qualify" visitors who actually
want to read my sales letter to find out more about my offer.
I've heard a lot of people claim many visitors (and sales) can
be lost by forcing your prospects to "do something" before they
get to your offer -- but my direct experimentation and results
show the majority (64.86%) of visitors who hit my site, sign up.
Once
my visitors sign up, they become leads and are set into my
autoresponder system to receive consistent follow-ups until they
buy, or unsubscribe.
Thankfully, the autoresponder service I use (Aweber allows me to
easily direct my new subscribers to a custom "Thank You" page.
Most web marketers still use the "default" thank you page and
their subscribers are returned to a "thanks for subscribing -
now close the window" type message. Useless.
My
thank you page re-directs to a tested sales letter that
continues the mental conditioning process by giving in-direct
answers to questions that were created in the mind of my
prospects upon reading, and signing up from my Name Squeeze.
Now
that my three elements are together, I combine them with "CII"
or the three most powerful words in all of marketing, and
achieve phenomenal and consistent results over time.
Using just this part of the formula alone, can cause a massive
shift in your bottom line. However, when the complete formula is
both discovered and activated, you'll have a direct funnel to
bring money "out of thin air" to you whenever you like, and for
whatever you want.
Do
this. Think of something you'd like to have.
Anything. It can be anything. Don't limit yourself.
A
new car, a new house, a nice expensive necklace for a loved one
-- anything.
Now
put a price on it.
That's your goal. Your intention.
Write it down.
Next, get out a calculator and punch in the price of what you
want.
Divide that number by the price for whatever item you want to
sell.
Round up to the nearest whole number, and you've got a definite
number.
This
number equals the amount of sales you'll need to get your wish.
Now
use the formula described in this article, and funnel the
correct amount of sales into your business, by getting the
traffic, pre-qualifying them, and going for the sale using CII
to guide you along every step of the way -- until you reach your
desired number of sales.
Once
the sales you've accumulated equal your desired amount, you get
your wish.
Try
it for yourself and see the power in this technique to create
anything you want.
Above all, stay focused... keep the momentum... and enjoy your
prosperity in the new year!

"Discover How To
Explode The Flow of Free
Traffic To Your Website Instantly"
By Matt Bacak
Many people like to listen to all the
graphic designers and other web designers about what to do to
get your website in the search engines. Be very careful, 90% of
the time they have no clue.
Here's a secret:
It is very easy for your site to get traffic and to be listed in
the search engines without paying those companies that advertise
that they can “get you in 1000 search engines.” Don't worry
about the 1000 search engines, you will waste your money. Just
focus on Google. That's where all the action is. (And Money for
you...)
Because Google is a giant on the block and if you do well in
Google, then you’re more likely to do well with MSN and Yahoo.
So how do you get listed on Google?
It's very simple. Links. Find someone whose website has a high
Page Rank (PR) and get them to link to you.
Here is a deeper explanation of Page Rank (PR) and the location
to a free piece of software that you can use to find out what
your PR is and your linking partners. First, let me explain PR
or Page Rank. It's a ranking scale (from 1 to 10) based
primarily on the number of WebPages and the importance of a
given page. You can see the PR of webpage when you use the
Google toolbar. The link below is the location where you will
get the software - it's actually a toolbar that attaches itself
to your web browser (i.e. Internet Explorer). It's called the
Google Tool Bar and here is the link that you need so you can
load it and use it.
http://toolbar.Google.com/
Make sure that you get the advanced
version. The Google Toolbar allows you to find out your Page
Rank and the Page Rank of other sites for your link building
strategies. It also provides the Page Information
such as links that are pointing at the site you are visiting.
Important NOTE: After downloading the Google toolbar, go to
options. Then after you go to “options” on the toolbar, select
“The Page Information Menu”. It'll be a blue circle with a "I"
in the middle of it.
Now that you have the Google toolbar and have received
information on how to explode the flow of free traffic to your
Website instantly, let's get started with a plan on how to
really do it.
Do you have any links to your site yet?
If not then get some, you can always go out and ask someone to
link to you, find sites that will add your link to their site,
swap links, post messages on message boards or blogs, and/or
give someone a testimonial that has your link after your name.
Sit down and think of ways to get links... be creative..
Here are some things you can do.
Remember the important note when I told you to get the "Page
Information Menu? Well, Here's why I suggested that. If you
want to get high up in the Google search engine then that “Page
Information Menu” will help you figure out how easy or hard that
it’s going to be for you. But before I tell you that, I must
make this point again. To get high on Google it’s all about
links. So here is how to use the “Page Information Menu” on the
Google toolbar to your
advantage.
First, go to Google.com. Then, choose a word that you want to be
#1 in the search engines for. Then, type the word you chose
into the search bar at Google.
Click on the #1 position site on the left hand side. (Not the
one on the right hand side that is a Google Adword.) Now once
at that website, look up at the tool bar. Find the blue “I”,
which is the “Page Information Menu” and click on it. Being very
general, this will tell you how many links that this site has
linking to it by looking at the number in the upper
right hand corner.
For example on July 27, 2005, following the steps I just gave
you, I went to www.Google.com, searched for the word “success
secrets.” Now the first website that
came up in the #1 position was
http://www.secretstotheirsuccess.com .
So I clicked on it. Then I went up to the Google tool bar and
found the blue “I” and clicked on that. Here is what it said:
”Results 1 - 10 of about 1,210 linking to
http://www.secretstotheirsuccess.com“
That means in general, you would need 1,210 links to be there.
This may not happen overnight, plus I don’t recommend trying to
do it overnight because Google will think something is fishy.
But it’s something to work towards or it might mean that you
will want to go down to the #2 or #3 position on Google and find
out how many links they have coming into them.
This will give you a general idea of what to aim for.
Here is a point you don’t want to miss…
A link is really like a vote. And you want more votes. In most
situations, the one with the most votes wins, right? That’s what
you want. You want to have more
votes AKA links pointing to your site. Now thinking about what
I just said about a link being a vote. Some votes count more
than others so you may be able to beat them by having less
links. What I mean by that is if they have a link with a PR 1
and you have a link with a PR 5 your link or vote is more
important.
Not all people understand that when it comes to free traffic to
your website that having in-coming links to your website is one
of the most important things you
could do. Probably because they are not marketers or they are
misinformed. In an ideal world you want to have any links that
are pointing to your site to have
your keyword as a hyperlink and add the keyword to your title
tag. That will really help out.
Here are some ideas to get links.
Articles - put a link to your site in your bio.
Message boards – go to a message board post a message and ad
your link
Press Releases – Send out a press release, you can use
www.prweb.com
Buy them from auctions– Go to ebay and buy them or go to
www.linkadage.com
There are more ways, but that’s a good start.
Lastly, here’s one free and easy way of getting a link to your
site. It’s called Link Swapping. You can find sites to swap
links with all over the internet just by doing a search using a
few keywords of your choosing and putting the keywords into
Google's search engine.
(I would recommend using Google, because if their website
doesn't show up in Google, the link may be worthless to you.)
Go to a site and you may see a link that says something like add
URL, Resource Page, Links Page, or maybe even, Trade Links.
Click on it, and you can trade a link with them. Now one thing
you must know when it comes to swapping links…
...put their link on your site first then email them with your
link, link title and description. This is really the best way to
do it so you're not wasting their time
and they know that you are serious.
Focus on finding links if you want free traffic.
"Discover A Place You Can Go and Get Link Swaps For FREE" Are
you ready to start swapping links?
Always remember that when you trade links with someone that
knows what they are doing, they are going to have rules or a
method. And remember that they will not bend their rules for
anyone, not even for you. What I mean is that they may just
allow you a few words for your link or they may allow you to
have a description box. Check out what they suggest doing before
you contact them.
When you swap links with someone, they have to take their time
to put your link on their website. So practice the Golden Rule
and go first - add their link on your
website and email them to let them know...
First, tell them in the email you have added their link on your
website. (I give them the exact location and ask if it looks
good to them.) Then, give them the
information to put on their website. Make it easy on them, so
they put your link up and you get traffic and a link.
